The Top 4 Everyday Watches for Men
Wearing a watch can say a lot about a gentleman’s personal style and how he carries himself. While it differs from one person to another, a man wearing a wristwatch can evoke confidence and a sense of cohesiveness. It shows that the person cares enough to put on a watch. Some people might agree that wristwatches are becoming obsolete and that mobile phones are the wrist watches to pocket watches. However, that did not stop the big tech companies like Apple and Samsung from creating wristwatches and accessories for the modern man.
While there are a lot of different watch categories out there, we decided on the top four everyday watches that every gentleman should have.
- Dress Watch
If you can only have one type of wristwatch in a lifetime, a dress watch should be it. Dress watches are resilient. They can be worn day and night and for different occasions. If you work in an office where you need to dress in business attire, a dress watch is the perfect pairing to your getup. It normally has a classic and elegant look to it and nothing too distracting. It is the type of watch to wear if you want to impress your boss or someone you really like. A common dress watch is made of stainless steel or leather. A dress watch usually has very few features and is primarily used just to tell time.
- Military or Sports Watch
If you want your wristwatch to stand out a little bit from the crowd and has more functionalities other than telling time, a military or sports watch can be your everyday watch. A military watch usually looks bulkier, rugged and durable as it is designed to withstand harsh elements. A review of the 15 best military watches in 2017 can be found at nitehawk.com. Each of the watches is assessed in terms of their best features from heart rate tracker to a stopwatch, and an alarm clock. If you are lucky, you could even find sports watches that has a functionality of a thermometer. The advantages and disadvantages are also outlined as reviewed by the customers.
- Casual Watch
A casual watch is a wristwatch that you wear when you are going out of town for a vacation, running errands on weekends or having lunches with your family and friends. You don’t necessarily wear a casual watch to attend a black tie event or any other formal engagement. Casual watches are normally affordable, smaller in size and not as heavy as a dress watch or a sports watch. Some casual watch can also be waterproof again to sell the idea that you shouldn’t be worried about ruining or losing it.
- Smartwatch
A smartwatch takes most if not all the functionalities of a dress watch, a sports watch and a casual watch and integrates them into a single device that can also accept calls, play music, take instructions and install external applications. Some of the most notable smartwatches launched in the product are Fitbit and Apple Watch. One thing that you have to give up when choosing smart watch over the others is battery life. A Fitbit usually lasts for approximately five days before you have to charge it again while you are lucky to get two days of battery life for an Apple Watch.
